Actually, there have been.  See the DNS choices and assumptions drafts.

which draft? which part of it? an analysis of the impact of a domainkeys-like use of DNS?
I think he means draft-iab-dns-choices-01.txt and draft-iab-dns-assumptions-02.txt.


note that the signer can use any number of sub-domains and therefore
